Books similar to Sophie Kinsella/Shopaholic series?

[Falafellygood]

I want to order some books for my mum to read as shes bored during isolation. She tends to read light hearted, easy 'chick-lit' stuff. She's gone through all of Sophie Kinsella. Any recommendations of similar books/authors? Thank you

I’ve just started a similar thread about my DM. Has she read Eleanor Oliphant? My DM liked it but I would read some reviews first maybe

Has she tried Veronica Henry too? I quite like her books. Have a look at Love on the Rocks

Dorothy Koomson books

Marian Keyes - any of her books are funny and well written plus great stories. Chick Lit plus.

Lindsay kelk books are really good especially the I heart series

stickman I’ve only read the Icecream Girls. I did enjoy it but when I went to look at more books by her she was described as the “Master of the Great Reveal”. I find this really find the end a great reveal in that book, I’d seen it coming a long way off.

Are her other books worth reading?

Marian Keyes

My dm likes similar books and also likes Marian Keyes and Cecilia Ahern.

She’d probably enjoy reading books by Jane Green.

Jane Mansell are very easy reading.

Fiona Gibson

Carole Matthews

Oh Maeve Binchy as well

I came on to say Marion Keyes

Sorry Marian.

Light reading but funny

Fiona Walker's books are great, funny and light hearted. Some are part of a series based around a fictional village but some stand alone.

Has she read Madeline Wickham's books - that is actually Sophie Kinsella too. Madeline Wickham is her real name!!

Alexandra Brown is very similar.

Eleanor Oliohant is 'odd' and not an easy read chic lit like the ones you said.

Jilted, The Ice Cream Girls isn’t the best Koomson, in fact i think it’s the weakest. Her newer stuff is better.
Hunky means Jill Mansell, I think.
Jenny Colgan or Erica James might be worth a go.
Jilly Cooper if she hasn’t read them and doesn’t mind the sex - Riders, Rivals and Polo are the best.

Nick Spalding "love from both sides" had me laughing out loud

@JiltedJohnsJulie I don't like ice cream girls, i would try marsh mellows for breakfast or my best friends girl to start with

Eleanor Oliphant doesn’t compare to the Shopaholic books at all. The Shopaholics are silly and lighthearted. Eleanor is about a young women fighting mental demons.

Another vote for Marian Keyes

I like the Jane Fallon ones, done a few as audio books recently and they were really easy listening.

Marian Keyes is a master of this genre. Chick lit +++++. Absolutely brilliantly done.

Jane Green.

Milly Johnson are very light hearted chic lit. Also another vote for Marian Keyes
